There are many reseller brands of the Isle of Man numbered SIMs, together with similar products from Liechtenstein, Estonia, Iceland, Monaco, Germany, and a couple using an Orange Israel SIM but with USA forwarded numbers, plus rumours of more to arrive soon.

The IoM SIMs vary in tariffs, range of incoming countries with free roaming, and other conditions like top-up interval and validity.

None have cheap roaming in USA though, nor does almost any network from other countries; you should always get a local SIM card there.

The other countries might have better prospects of cheap calls with global SIMs, but even then it will be better in some of those listed to use a local SIM, especially with the cheap tariffs available.

As for JustVoip - it seems you can actually forward a DID (such as IPKall) to the SIP address, but apparently not use JV SIP settings for outgoing or other incoming calls. The next cheapest Betamax tariff for UK/IoM mobiles is Voipcheap.

If the IoM number is from the earlier 07624 series, then there is another cheap way to call it, but this is a mistariff so I'm not mentioning it in public; send a PM if interested
